HYBRID VPN XR1000 Any Update?
I've seen a couple posts on this already but they seem to be quite old. Is there any update whether this will make it into the next update? If not I'm going to return this router and get XR500 again
Unfortunately we don't know exactly when they plan to release the next firmware. NETGEAR also have a very extensive SQA testing process so it's hard to say from our side I'm afraid.
Thanks for your reply! I hope they will release it soon.. I am very dissapointed that the xr1000 version doesn't have the HYBRIDVPN option... this is the newest version of the routers so I don't understand it.
I would also see this included as soon as possible. I assumed that one of the most expensive gaming routers would have this out of the box.. My new network is set-up now and don't want to return it, but very disappointed to learn it was not included. How can we get updates on when this will be released?
Once a full release firmware is released by NETGEAR, your router will upgrade to it automatically as long as your XR is still configured to do so. Otherwise, we'll post any updates we have over on the aforementioned KB article.

- Really what is wrong with the Netgear team?? So many People want this HybridVPN feature on the router. Is the team on holidays or something else? The testing is complete for almost 3 months now. This must be enough to develop a new firmware for the XR1000 router. I don't want to send always a message on this forum, but this is getting very very annoying.
Yours sincerely,
